1. Install exhaust hood
Install exhaust hood and use caulking compound to seal
exterior wall opening around exhaust hood.
Determine vent length and elbows needed for best drying
performance:
Use following Vent System Chart to determine type of
vent material and hood combinations acceptable to use.
NOTE: Do not use vent runs longer than those speci ed
in Vent System Chart. Exhaust systems longer than those
speci ed will:
Shorten life of dryer.
Reduce performance, resulting in longer drying times
and increased energy usage.
The Vent System Chart provides venting requirements
that will help achieve best drying performance.
NOTE: Bottom exhaust installations have a 90° turn inside
the dryer. To determine maximum exhaust length, add one
90° turn to the chart.
Determine vent path:
Select route that will provide straightest and most direct
path outdoors.
Plan installation to use fewest number of elbows and turns.
When using elbows or making turns, allow as much room
as possible.
Bend vent gradually to avoid kinking.
Use as few 90° turns as possible.
